#Federal law gives the #DOJ the ability to ensure #states have procedures in place to remove ineligible voters & otherwise properly maintain their rolls. It does not expressly give the agency the authority to review the voter rolls themselves.
States routinely check their rolls to identify people who are ineligible because they are not citizens, have moved to another voting jurisdiction, have been convicted of a felony or have died.
In several #states, it asked detailed questions about the process to remove #noncitizens & other *ineligible* #voters from the rolls.
Grantham, the Fremont County clerk, said Small asked him if he would allow a third party to review whether his voting machines complied with #federal law. Grantham declined the request, he said, citing #state laws that restrict access to voting machines.

In 2017, during #Trump’s 1st term, ofcls from both parties declined to give a presidential commission detailed info on voters, w/Mississippi’s GOP secy of state telling the task force to “go jump in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Bush.
